BFC: IU stands against racism By Jenna Williams jnw9@iu.edu | @jnwilliams18
The Bloomington Faculty Council met Tuesday to pass a proposal, discuss a resolution against harassment and hear a variety of reports. Proposed resolution against harassment The proposed resolution discussed a January harassment incident that occurred on campus, where a man verbally attacked a freshman student on the basis of race. “All harassment creates a toxic environment and there needs to be better responses as bystanders,” said Selene Carter, co-chair of the Diversity and Affirmative Action Committee. Carter acknowledged her own position of privilege and spoke of the need for all students, especially non-minoritized ones, to intervene in situations of intolerance. “There is a growing climate of bias and intolerance and division nationally and we are feeling the effects locally,” she said. “We need to create support for students and stop the bias from growing.” Non-tenure track election units The BFC passed a proposal from the Nomination Committee to increase the number of non-tenure track representatives and re-adjust the number of various other representatives. Diane Henshel, president-elect and chair of the Nomination Committee, presented a proposal, which suggested an increase in non-tenure track member seats from three to 15. It planned for the three current members to complete their term through 2020. Five non-tenure track members would be appointed to SEE BFC, PAGE 6
Showcase to feature modern dance Clark Gudas ckgudas@iu.edu | @This_isnt_Clark
The phrases “Good Game, Yo!” and “Gender is a Concept” are not commonly associated with each other. At IU’s Winter Dance Concert, they are the names of dance routines. “The 2019 Winter Dance Concert: Making Spaces” runs Feb. 8-10 at the Ruth N. Halls Theatre. Tickets start at $10 for students. Amanda Hoover, a senior double majoring in contemporary dance and cinema and media production, said “Making Spaces” is a versatile show. “When people think of dance, they think of ballerinas,” Hoover said. “They put their hands on their head and spin around. This concert ranges from house hip-hop routines to traditional contemporary dance. We have Afro-modern pieces. It’s really all over the place.” Renowned dancer and choreographer Twyla Tharp created her piece, “Deuce Coupe,” with Beach Boys music, marking the ballet as the first ever written that blended modern and traditional dance techniques. Hoover said about ten different Beach Boys songs will play during the 30-minute performance. Tharp created the piece in 1973. Hoover said dance and movement styles were much different then than they are now. “It was really interesting to try to embody what dancers were doing in SEE DANCE, PAGE 6
‘They need us’ The Monroe County Humane Association is set to expand to a new facility. This expansion will more than double the size of the MCHA. By Christine Stephenson cistephe@iu.edu | @cistephenson23
The Monroe County Humane Association’s clinic and food pantry will more than double in size when they move to a new location next year. The private nonprofit, which provides services for pet owners who need affordable care, recently bought more than 6 acres of land near the Monroe County Airport on the west side of Bloomington. At the current storefront clinic on West Richland Plaza Drive, Executive Director Rebecca Warren said staff members struggle to cram their patients and resources into the building. “We have dog food lining the hallways,” she said. “The X-ray suite frequently becomes an exam room because we don’t have anywhere else to put people. It’s above and beyond what we can facilitate safely.” Warren said the new clinic will open in January 2020. The expansion is necessary, she said, because pet owners from across Indiana trek to the clinic for its low prices. “Some people come from

up to two or three hours away to see us,” she said. “We’ve got too many animals stacked up on top of each other, but we don’t want to say no because they need us.” The Association also provides about 2,000 pounds a month of donated food to owners who cannot afford to feed their pets. Many owners rely on this service, Warren said, but the bags take up a lot of space.
In addition to the extra space, the new location will also feature dog walking trails and a pet memorial garden. Development Director Kimberly Goy said she hopes the memorial garden will strengthen the bond between the clinic and its community. “It’s another way we can involve everyone and support the animal-human connection,” she said. The finished project will
cost more than $1.7 million, Warren said. The money will come from donations. A significant amount of money came from a woman who died last year and left the Association in her will. She donated every year while she was alive, Goy said, but this last donation surprised everyone on staff. “It makes me sad because I wish we had known about it ahead of time to thank this person,” she said. “We’re honored she thought that highly of us.” Although the West Richland Plaza Drive location will close once the project is done, the Association’s administrative office on South Walnut Street will not be affected, Warren said. This means Bloomington Animal Care and Control, the shelter that shares the building with the Association, will not be affected either. Warren said the Association will be moving new and current staff members to the new location once it is finished. “We’re all excited about what it is going to offer for the community,” she said.

Hoosiers fall to Gophers on Wednesday By Stefan Krajisnik stefkraj@iu.edu | @skrajisnik3
Shots just needed to fall. It sounds simple, rather obvious, but that was what sophomore guard Bendu Yeaney said was the issue early on in IU’s 6561 loss to Minnesota Wednesday nigght at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers shot just 4-of-17 in the first quarter and suffered a scoring drought that went over three minutes. They trailed the Gophers by eight at the end of the first. The uphill battle got steeper as another scoring drought of three minutes occurred in the second quarter. And after Minnesota shot just 4-of-12 in the second, IU was only able to cut one point off heading into halftime. “It’s always the beginning that gets you if you’re not ready,” IU
61-65 Coach Teri Moren said. The concerns of missing shots and turning the ball over were among IU’s problems to fix in the first four minutes of the second half. But those problems suddenly looked minuscule at the sixminute mark in the third quarter. Junior guard Ali Patberg drove hard to the hoop, got tripped up and slammed her right arm into the ground hard. The smack of the wooden court was audible to the 3,398 in attendance, who all fell silent as Patberg writhed in pain on the floor. It at first looked like Patberg was holding her right wrist or forearm, but as she walked to the locker room with IU Head Athletic Trainer Robert Black, she held her right shoulder.
